The Stupice Tomato (pronounced “stoo-peets-eh”) is a beloved heirloom variety from the Czech Republic, treasured for its early harvests, cold tolerance, and unbeatable flavor. This indeterminate, potato-leafed variety produces abundant clusters of small to medium, bright red tomatoes with a rich, sweet, and tangy taste. With its early maturation and prolific yields, Stupice is a perfect choice for cooler climates and gardeners eager for an early harvest!
